Pam worked professionally for nearly 15 years in her Kentucky homeland with her identical twin sister Pat Shelton. They were part of an artist team known as "The Brown Twins" and their specialty was painting air-brushed art, including murals and custom auto designs. Pam has lived in Maryville, Tn since 1993 with her husband Pete, daughter Ashley and son Joe, who is also  a talented artist.

The Inspiration to paint Fantasy art came early on when Pam discovered the work of such great artists as Boris Vellejo and Frank Frazetta and wanted to emulate their styles. Later on she studied portraiture and figurative drawing thru tutorials authored by Burnes Hogarth, founder of the School of Visual Arts in NYC. This led to a lucrative business painting portraits which included one for pop musician John Mellancamp and one of actress Sissy Spacek's daughter, Skylar.

Pam's style of Fantasy Art coupled with her love for Realism has enabled her to paint a broad spectrum of subjects that include everything from seascapes, landscapes, Portraits, wildlife, fantasty creatures (including a series on faeries and mermaids,) CD cover art and children's book illustrations. She has been represented by the Seaside Art Gallery on the Outer Banks of North Carolina for the past 16 years as their exclusive Fantasy Artist. She also teaches private art lessons in her home and at ArtSpace Art Center Home of Fine Arts Blount in Maryville, where she served as FAB President in 2008.

Artist Statement: My work defines the free spirit within me, and allows me to express myself in a way that is easily interpreted by others. I consider my talent a "gift from God" and I am grateful for the joy that it brings to my life and to others.
